What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?

[EricLeifermann]

Throw 2826 into the pool of teams that would only build 1 robot if bag day were removed. Our practice bOt is always better thay our comp bot because we get so much more test and run time on it. If we didn't have to redo everything that we changed on the practice bot on the comp bot talk about a financial and time save.

However bag day is not a leading factor in teams folding.

Team support is #1 I would say. Both from mentors but from FIRST HQ as a whole.
#2 is money, no way around it. There is 0 reason that the registration fee still needs to be as high as it is.
